Using the CCD Utility in Development Environment
The CCD utility is located in the Windchill folder. Perform the following steps to use the CCD utility in the development environment:
1. Prepare a customization package as per the directory structure. ​The default location for the customization package is /opt/ptc/customization.
However, you can specify a different location, using the property wt.customizationSource.dir.path=<path to source code> in <WT_HOME>/bin/customizationTools/customizationTools.properties file.
* 
The CCD tool must have read, write, modify, and execute access to the location of the customization package.​
2. Open Windchill shell and navigate to <WT_HOME>/bin/customizationTools/​.
3. In the Windchill shell, execute the following,
ant <target name>​
* 
Select the target name as per the business requirement. For more information about ant targets, see External Targets.​
You can run the CCD utility in Linux and Windows environments.
The log file is generated in <WT_HOME>/buildlogs/customizationLogs. The CustomizationInstallLogs_<TimeStamp>.log file contains all the detailed messages of script executions. The detailed messages are for both success and failure cases.
